Dive into the illustrious and complex legacy of one of Lebanon's most influential composers, Elias Rahbani, in this compelling documentary. While his elder brothers, Assi and Mansour, became globally known for their iconic work with singer Fairuz, The Third Rahbani chronicles Elias’s extraordinary journey to carve his own unique path in the Arab music world.

Director Feyrouz Serhal utilises a wealth of personal archives and intimate interviews to trace his rise, challenges, and indelible mark on the region’s arts. The film not only serves as a beautiful tribute to Elias’s artistry, but also offers a rare look at the creative pressures within a legendary musical dynasty.
